MemberWhen I went to Currys to pick up a case for the NC10, I picked up a pair of these as well, cheap enough and they match the NC10!

MemberCurrys and PC World links contain a session ID by default so that link takes us back to your session which is now timed out.
Is this the right link?

MemberI’ve been tempted by those sennheisers – they get good reviews. I’ve bought cheapy headphones in the past and I think you get what you pay for! But if that is understood then there is nothing wrong with that!

MemberErrrr, actually I’ve got some of those as well, which I use with iphone and main PC. Just bought cheap ones to throw in my work bag and then I don’t care if they get wrecked. I’m a bit paranoid about my decent headphones getting knackered. The sound is on the logiks is fine and far better than the NC10’s speakers (sadly).
I’ve just remembered I’ve got some bluetooth headphones with a back band, as well…..I may have too many pairs of headphones.

[/quote1228172908]I have exactly the same pair and for the price i would definetly recommend them for wearing whilst out and about. If I’m at home and want to use headphones I also have a slightly larger head band style pair of sennheisers which rock. Top brand.

[/quote1229253045]I have a set of the Bose quiet comfort noise cancelling cans – they are amazing as well as being very expensive but as the man says you get what you pay for.

[/quote1229254955]Expensive indeed, but I’ve had a go with those top range noise cancelling ones and they really are freaky. Flick the switch and all the background noise just dies away. Great for the air con in my office! Makes my ears feel funny though.

MemberI just replaced my V-Moda Vibes (great sound, but the wire kept shredding near the earbud) that I used with my iPod a couple of months ago.
I bought the Sennheiser CX95 erbuds and they work great. Got them for $60, back when they had a price slash after being intro’d into the U.S.
Now amazon has them at $130, and I wouldn’t pay that much for them. I’d go with some Shure SE210’s for that price

[/quote1229286341]I know what you mean it is a bit more noticeable if they are used with no sound through them, I use them when flying mainly and take em off every so often for a break. They are essential kit along with my Archos media player, both the best on the market in my humble opinion. Got 6 episodes of Spooks to watch this week!
